Chapter 364: Lifelong Learning
Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan both decided to learn from Jiang Ran!
Learning is not just about saying it; it requires practical action.
The family still had the books Pei Huai used before, and Pei Huai himself was at home, just right to give the two of them lessons.
Jiang Ran didn’t just stand by, she joined Pei Huai in giving lessons to the two of them.
In everyone’s mind, Jiang Ran was self-taught and accomplished.
Now that Jiang Ran knows middle school knowledge and can teach them, no one finds it surprising.
While other families were out visiting friends and eating, only the Pei Family was immersed in a learning atmosphere.
Wang Cuilan originally thought that if Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang didn’t study properly and lacked ambition, she might as well quickly find matches for them and let them settle down.
But seeing how hard they studied, scratching their heads over their homework and not complaining even when working late, she abandoned that idea.
Since the children want to improve themselves, as a mother, she naturally wouldn’t hold them back.
Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan discussed it and both felt that Jiang Ran made sense.
They’ve lived half their lives and haven’t been to a big city.
Life is short, who wouldn’t want to see more of the world?
In the past, there were no opportunities, but now, as long as they try a little harder, there is a chance, and they shouldn’t miss it.
With these thoughts, even Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan began learning with Pei Jing.
That’s right, they were learning with Pei Jing.
Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan had never gone to school.
They could only recognize and write their own names and their family’s names and numbers.
Their writing was wobbly.
In the village, there were many like them who were illiterate, and they never saw it as a problem.
But now it’s different!
Now they know they won’t always stay in this small town.
Soon, they might be going to a big city like beishi.
In a big city like beishi, everyone would have been to school and can write. Whether they can or not doesn’t matter too much.
But they can’t embarrass the kids!
If others found out that Jiang Ran’s parents were illiterate, what would they say?
With this mindset, Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan started learning, and their attitude was no different from Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan’s.
Their age might affect their learning capability, but their attitude was great!
Besides, they weren’t learning anything too deep from the books.
For now, their demands were simple: to recognize more characters and write them nicely.
Knowing their intentions, Jiang Ran immediately bought them calligraphy practice books to help them practice writing.
In other families, people around Jiang Ran’s age who knew their parents wanted to learn characters might think it was unnecessary.
But Jiang Ran didn’t think so at all.
In life, one should have the spirit of lifelong learning.
As long as you want to learn, it’s never too late to start.
Jiang Ran didn’t just leave it be, she carefully explained each character’s meaning and origin to help them remember better.
